      <step>  Spray deep skillet with nonstick spray coating. Preheat pan over high heat.
  Cook chicken in hot skillet, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until no
  longer pink.
  
  Reduce heat. Add tomatoes and their juice, low sodium chili sauce, green
  pepper, celery, onion, garlic, basil, parsley, crushed red pepper, and
  salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
  Serve over hot cooked rice or whole wheat pasta.
  
  *You can substitute 1 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into
  l-inch strips, if desired.
  
  **To cut back on sodium, try low sodium canned tomatoes
  
  Makes 4 servings
